The Graves of Jesse James

Two empty coffins...with unknown names 
Saved for the unfortunates...of Jesse James 
Made for the men, they say...Jesse killed 
Only a matter of time, they'll both...be filled

G'day Lindsay. Like you, I really don't know too much about him either. Only what I have read. (lol) And that is that he was pretty bad.

Born to draw a gun...born to live on his own terms...it's actually a power write

Yes, a true "young gun" Perhaps you are right Arturo...a power write. All the best...Charlie
